The Universe is in Us
And I know that yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us.
The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.
As an educator, it's my duty to empower you to think. So that you can go forth and think accurate thoughts about how the world is put together.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special,' you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big. No, you're not. You're small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that's limited on Earth.
There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.
I love being wrong because that means in that instant, I learned something new that day.
